How to use a ranking
A rank is a starting point, not a decision. Check the entrance exam each institute accepts, whether you meet its eligibility, the median salary of its last batch, and the fees, then shortlist colleges where your score gives you a realistic chance. A counsellor can help you build that shortlist.
